Do I need to get Visitor visa for my newborn infant?

[Alexis15]

Hi. My wife and I have visitor visa and we travelled to Canada last year. This year we want to travel to Canada with our newborn baby. Does anyone knows if an infant needs to have a visa? and if yes, how to apply for a visitor visa for an infant?

Unless the child has a visa-exempt citizenship, yes, you need to apply for a TRV. The process is the same as it was for you.

Appreciate your prompt reply. How about the required documents (such as financial statement, proof of employment, ...)? My child basically only has a birth certificate and a passport. Also, we did the biometric test. I believe an infant does not need that. Thank you in advance for your response.

The process is the same. The required documents are not. The child is exempt from biometrics.
